WPF: Data-centric Applications Using the DataGrid and Ribbon Controls

Description

Business apps live on data. In this demo-focused talk, we'll show how we've made building data-centric business applications in WPF easier with the new DataGrid, Ribbon, and Calendar/DatePicker controls. As we build the application, we'll also give you
a sneak peek at how building data-bound apps will be significantly easier in Visual Studio 2010.

I would like MS to include DataSet in the next version of SilverLight. We need DataSet to integrate our existing .NET application with the SilverLight. For example, in our development we use DataSet to work with Data such as returning DataSet to the caller
and use DataSet to save data.

We cannot change and add all these methods simply because we need to use the SilverLight since this will create our jobs harder and double the works!
